What more can I say, contrary to popular belief Islam is a religion of peace.

Yeah, thats true, its just some fundamentalist bullshiters that are using it as a reason to wage a war against America, is it
Yeah also Christianity is a religion of peace, but most ppl know the religion responsible for the most amount of deaths is Catholicism

ummmmmm....

hey..thanks for that post.. its really great.. it makes the following exeplanation so much easier:


well in prayer (salat).. as u can see in the picture.. they are standing next to each other but not close enough.. which is an incorrect way of praying in congergation.. so it's clearly drawn by someone ignorant of Islamic teachings...

when we pray at a mosque or in congregation.. it's actually something that strengthens the unity between people...

u enter a mosque... u stand next to someone u have never met in ur entire life... u offer the prayer not knowing and not caring whether the person beside u is rich.. poor.. educated or uneducated.. but what u do know.. is that they are muslim...

as i said.. the seperation in the picture is incorrect...

u must pray foot to foot, shoulder to shoulder... where no gaps are left for satan to try and sidetrack u from ur prayer and disturb the peace...

I find it funny really how some people look at men with big beards.. as being scary.. because when i actually look at them i feel really happy inside and they make me want to get closer to my religion...

I think its fucked how some muslims think that their god will reward them for killing other people, how fucked is that.
yes it is fucked indeed
i mean in islam..if u take a life the punishment is hellfire
so why would a muslim kill ..especially for no reason
the ones that do..God knows what will become of them

Jeez, talk about missing the big picture. And it's called humour, btw.

How is it like being a Muslim you say? Um, well you have to answer the usual questions when ppl wanna go for a drink at uni:

"Wanna go for a drink?"

"Nah, I think I'll pass."

"Why's that? Got some work to do?"

"Nah, I don't drink. I'm Muslim."

And praying five times a day is something that you have to deal with. I usually pray during my lunch break, and since my uni (UNSW) has a prayer hall (Top floor of the squarehouse, if anyone's interested), I have a place to go to. There are a few pamphlets about Islam there if you're passing by and willing to climb the 4 flights of stairs to get to the top. :D

Being a Muslim is wonderful. I am proud to wear a headscarf however that makes me an easy target for those who want to verbally attack me (this incident did happen 3 years ago during school time and not really going into any details my sport teacher told them off). It has also happened randomly, like another incident was when my family and I were going home from a party, my brother was driving and my dad was in the middle row, with the window down when a bunch of adolescents just yelled......stuff.

If you want a summarised version fo what Islam is:

Just want to let everyone know:

*Sigh* I'm so misunderstood. Personally, I don't think I'm missing out on much by not drinking... I have a lot of non-Muslim friends who don't drink by choice... no biggie.

Realistically speaking, if you have a lecture at upper campus and the prayer hall is at lower campus, you have to deal with it by walking briskly to the prayer hall or even finding a quiet room to pray in nearer to your next lecture hall.

:D

if u look into the history of Islam, Allah was named after an idol (statue)
this is your god?

Christians, Jews and muslims all believe in the same God...there are differences in the religions of course...I'm not muslim so correct me if I'm wrong but muslims believe that no human form or vision can grasp God/Allah
